The Labour government in the United Kingdom is moving ahead with a sweeping plan to require every working citizen to carry a digital ID card — the “BritCard.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer pitched the initiative as a solution to illegal immigration and bureaucratic inefficiency, but critics argue it is nothing less than the foundation for a national government surveillance system. A digital ID is a government-linked identity system designed to consolidate personal information, from banking and shopping data to health and vaccination records, into one centralized account. Unlike a physical driver’s license or passport that you keep in your wallet...

Swiss voters have narrowly approved a plan to introduce voluntary electronic identity cards. With all votes counted, 50.4% of those who voted said yes to the proposal, while 49.6% rejected it. The closeness of the ballot is a surprise. Opinion polls had suggested up to 60% backed digital IDs, which also had the approval of the Swiss government, and both houses of parliament. It was Switzerland's second vote on digital IDs. An earlier proposal was rejected in 2021, amid concerns the data would be held centrally, and controlled largely by private providers. Sunday's revised proposal keeps the system in government...

Every adult in Britain will require a digital ID under plans to tackle illegal immigration. Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Sir Keir Starmer said the government would make a "new, free-of-charge digital ID that would be mandatory for the right to work by the end of this parliament". Sky News earlier reported that the prime minister was due to announce his backing for the scheme in a speech on Friday. The idea behind the so-called "Brit card" is that it would verify a citizen's right to live and work in the UK. The plans would require anyone starting a new...

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to announce plans for a compulsory UK-wide digital ID scheme in a speech on Friday. The prime minister believes it would help crack down on illegal working and modernise the state, according to senior figures in government. The practicalities of the scheme will be subject to a consultation, which will also look at how to make it work for those without a smartphone or passport. The previous Labour government's attempt to introduce ID cards was ultimately blocked by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition. But earlier this month, Sir Keir said in an interview he thought the...

Justin Trudeau will be remembered as the most unserious man ever to hold serious power in Canada. He governed by press release, ruled by emotion, and floated through crisis after crisis with nothing but slogans and an empty smile. He invoked the Emergencies Act against working-class protesters, locked down the country for years, and divided citizens by class, jab status, and belief. But Mark Carney represents something far more dangerous. The 60-year-old didn’t rise through politics. He was not elected. He was installed — by the very institutions that profit most from technocratic control and public obedience. Goldman Sachs. The...

Britain is 'sleepwalking into a dystopian nightmare' under proposals to force everyone to have a digital ID card, civil liberty campaigners warned last night. Sir Keir Starmer is 'exploring' the idea, No 10 admitted this week, after Emmanuel Macron demanded action that would make Britain less attractive to illegal migrants. But civil liberty groups yesterday warned that it will turn Britain into a 'papers, please' society. Rebecca Vincent, of Big Brother Watch, said: 'While Downing Street is scrambling to be seen as doing something about illegal immigration, we are sleepwalking into a dystopian nightmare where the entire population will be...

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. wants all Americans to use “wearable” technology to track their health as part of his “MAHA” agenda. The Kennedy-clan strongman revealed his agency’s plan Tuesday for a massive push for Americans — who have an obesity rate of 40% — to use wearable data-collecting technology such as FitBits, Oura Rings, and Apple Watches, to promote healthier lifestyles. “We’re about to launch the biggest advertising campaign in HHS history to encourage Americans to use wearables,” Kennedy said in a House Committee on Energy and Commerce hearing on Tuesday. ...

Amazon says it will roll out its biometric palm-recognition technology to its more than 500 Whole Foods Markets stores in the United States this year.

Geofencing: "Think of it as an invisible fence around you... that will be related to your face recognition, digital identity, and access control" Big Tech whistleblower Aman Jabbi exposes the digital prison being constructed all around us in this clip from The Agenda: Their Vision Your Future.

He has no experience of elective office. He won by the narrowest of margins, and hasn’t even spent much of his recent career in his own country. Canadians took a huge leap of faith yesterday in voting for Mark Carney as their next prime minister at a moment in their history when the American president Donald Trump has imposed huge tariffs on their country and even threatened to annex it. Still, at least they can reassure themselves that Carney’s vast experience as Governor of the Bank of England means he is a safe pair of hands. But there is one...

A new, highly infectious COVID-19 strain that has left to a spike in hospitalizations in China has now been detected in the US, including cases in New York City, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The new NB.1.81 variant was first detected in the US in late March and early April among international travelers arriving at airports in California, Washington State, Virginia and New York City, with additional cases reported in Ohio, Rhode Island and Hawaii. The CDC has said there are too few cases in the US to be properly tracked in the agency’s variant estimates,...

A one-of-a-kind Sam’s Club store opened Thursday in South Tampa after the company abruptly closed the location last year, turning a portion of the building into an online fulfillment center.

Facial recognition technology is creeping into Ireland fast – and not everyone’s grinning about it. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has announced that controversial facial recognition legislation will be introduced before the summer, after years of political wrangling, privacy fears and digital drama. The tech – already rolled out across parts of the UK – is being hailed as the Gardaí’s new secret weapon in crime-fighting. But critics say it’s a step too far into Big Brother territory. Are we gradually sliding into that dystopian future? All we can say is, it edges a little closer every day. Back from the...

Cash is dead. Speech is scored. Freedom is conditional.. ... Mark Carney didn’t rise through politics. He was not elected. He was installed — by the very institutions that profit most from technocratic control and public obedience. Goldman Sachs. The Bank of Canada. The Bank of England. The Financial Stability Board. The World Economic Forum. Bilderberg. The Trilateral Commission. The Council for Inclusive Capitalism. This is a man who has spent his entire adult life inside the machinery of global finance and elite governance. Now, he’s running a country. Carney is no fool. He speaks in the hushed tones of...

Sam's Club stores is axing all self-checkouts from its 600 stores — in favor of controversial new technology. The Walmart-owned warehouse chain, often seen as Costco's biggest rival, is rolling out AI-powered 'Scan & Go' tech that lets shoppers skip the line and walk straight out the door once they're done shopping. The move is controversial because it uses a network of cameras and sensors to track shoppers and their carts. In addition, the checkout-free experience requires all customers to use a smartphone and download the store’s app. This could pose a challenge to older shoppers who may struggle with...

(2024) On Nov. 4, Dartmouth Dining began enrolling students in a palm biometric recognition scanner system at the Class of 1953 Commons.

"They tried to kill us... They tried to sterilise us." Dr. Naomi Wolf exposes Pfizer's "intentional attack" on women and babies. "They killed the babies, and they knew it. They poisoned the breast milk, and they knew it... They lowered the sperm count, and they knew it." "This is satanic on a massive level... the fact that they knew they were doing this, which—if you read the Pfizer papers—you cannot conclude otherwise."
